Mayor Glenda Bangerter

La Quinta, CA 92253
Subject: Increased Local Agency
Representation in RCTC
Dear Mayor Bangerter:
The ability to provide adequate transportation infrastructure is an integral part of the
quality of life of our respective communities. With continued increased demands for our
local funding dollars, we will look with ever more emphasis to State and Federal funding
sources for assistance in our funding needs, particularly for those projects of a regional
nature which benefit multiple communities. These transportation funding sources are of
course generated at a local level by sales and gasoline taxes and other levies paid by our
constituents.
As you are aware, the Riverside County Transportation Commission RCTC) is responsible
for overseeing the programming and distribution of Riverside County Measure A sales tax
funding and Federal transportation funding authorized by ISTEA and its future
replacement program). The RCTC was formed in the 1970's, at a time when the majority
of the population in the County was in the unincorporated areas and the City of Riverside.
As such, the membership of the Commission was set up to reflect this, and consists of:
3 County Supervisors
1 Council member from the City of Riverside
2 Council members from all other cities in Riverside County
1 Citizen member appointed by the other Commissioners
1 Non-voting member appointed by the Governor typically a Caltrans
representative)
Since the time of RCTC's creation, the population demographics of the County have
changed considerably. The population of the incorporated cities in the County excluding
Riverside) now exceeds those of the unincorporated County and the City of Riverside

combined. The membership structure of RCTC is therefore no longer based on a
population equity.
Other Counties have membership structures for their Transportation Commissions which
differs from RCTC's. In San Bernardino County, for example, the San Bernardino
Associated Governments, SANBAG), which serves as the Transportation Commission,
includes a representative from each incorporated City in addition to the five County
Supervisors. Although this does not necessarily provide population equity, it does give local
agencies a much greater voice in the use of transportation funding.
The City of Hemet has a desire to work with other local agencies interested in exploring
changes to RCTC membership that would give local agencies a greater voice. The
membership structure of RCTC is written into the Public Utilities Code, and our
understanding is that changes to this structure would require amendment by the State
Legislature. As such, it would require broad support from multiple agencies to effect a
change. We therefore inquire as to whether your agency would be interested in starting a
dialogue towards such a change, and would participate with the City of Hemet and other
interested jurisdictions towards that goal.
We thank you for your consideration, and look forward to your response at your earliest
convenience. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me should you wish to
discuss this matter
Sincerely,
Lori VanArsdale
Mayor

ITEM TITLE: STUDY SESSION:
Consideration of a professional services contract for PUBLIC HEARING:
AB 939 Implementation consulting services.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Selection Committee's recommendation to award a professional services
contract to EcoNomics for AB 939 implementation services in an amount not to
exceed $32,847 and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is $123,000 budgeted in the Community Development Department's Contract
Services Account for Fiscal Year 1995/96 of which $58,000 Account No. 101-403-
605-542) is designated for consultant assistance to implement AB 939 programs.

has been expended. The recommended contract Attachment 1) with EcoNomics will
cost $32,847. This contract is funded from the AB 939 Compliance Fee; it is not a
General Fund expenditure.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
After an extensive search and selection process, the Four-City Selection Committee
unanimously recommended EcoNomics for the local AB 939 implementation
consulting services contract. The selection process included a Request for
Qualifications RFQ), a Request for Proposals RFP), and interviews with the Four-
City selection committee. Additionally, two Council Members were appointed by the
City Council on February 6, 1996, to observe the process.
At that time, the City Council approved the RFP, and authorized staff to proceed with
the selection process. Prior to releasing the RFP with a revised due date, the City of
Cathedral City joined the selection process and participated in the RFP review and
consultant interview process. This cooperative effort will continue to economize
consultant time and resources which will save money for each city.

Consider Authorization to Call on Security for Traffic Signal
Improvements from Tracts 23269, 23913, 23935, 23995, 24517, PUBLIC HEARING:
25363, and 26188
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize staff to call on improvement security for traffic signals associated with the Tracts
23269, 23913, 23935, 23995, 24517, 25363, and 26188
FISCAL IMPLIC?ONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City has recently constructed or has received bids to construct several traffic signals
throughout the City. Primary flinding for the signal projects consists of contributions from
approved subdivisions which were conditioned to contribute their share of the cost of the signals.
When the costs of the signal projects were known, and actual costs for each of the participating
tracts were calculated, staff sent certified letters to the individual sub dividers requesting
remittance of their share. The letters allowed each subdivider more than 30 days and requested
remittance by March 1. In each case, the City received return receipts for the letters.
Over the next 60 days, the City received a few calls clari?ing the requests for payment. We have
received no remittances or indications that remittance will be made.
Attachment 1 lists the signals, the participating tracts, the names of the subdividers, and the
amounts of the individual contributions requested.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The subdividers have received notification of the amount and due date for their remittances. All
have failed to respond.
The City holds traffic signal security from each subdivider. Under the provisions of the respective
subdivision agreements and of the individual security instruments, the City may call on the
security if the dev?oper fails to satis? the secured obligation when requested by certified mai].

ing -> 132;O The signals have been constructed or are under contract for construction. Failure of the City to
receive rernittance from the subdividers may adversely affect the City's ability to carrv out the
needed signal projects and to proceed with currently-active contracts.
City Council alternatives include the following:
I Authorize staff to call on traffic signal security for the tracts listed in Attachrnent 1. Letters
will be sent to each of the sureties noti?ing them of the Council's actions and requesting the
flinds be forwarded to the City as soon as possible. Copies of the letters will be forwarded to
each of the affected subdividers.
2. Deny staff's recommendation. To not move forward with acquiring the necessary flinds from
the traffic signal securities will require the City to acquire the flinds from an alternative
flinding source, most likely the Infrastructure Fund. Because it was not anticipated that these
projects would be financed with other flinds, such as Infrastructure Funds, the current and
fliture capital improvement program will be impacted.
3. Provide alternative directions to staff

ITEM TI'ILE: STUDY SESSION:
Consideration of Selection of Broker/Dealer PUBLIC HEARING:
for City of La Quinta Listing of Financial
Institutions
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Mr. Ernest Marchowsky of Dean Witter, Newport Beach Attachment No.1)
and Mr. Ron Meraz and Mr. Alfredo Sandoval of Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith,
Inc. of Indian Wells Attachment No.2) be placed as broker/dealers on the Listing of
Financial Institutions for the City of La Quinta.
FISCAL. IMPLICATIONS:
The broker/dealer fees are determined on a per-transaction basis and are included in
the cost of the security that is bought and sold. Typically, fees for one 1) year
Treasury securities would average 15 cents per $1,000 dollars, or $150 per
$1,000,000 dollars. The total estimated cost per fiscal year should not exceed
$4,000.00.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City of La Quinta does not have broker/dealers who may purchase or sell
investments at the direction of the City Treasurer. As a result, the City is unable to
diversify its portfolio.
The City would establish accounts with the broker/dealers who would execute trades
on a delivery versus payment with the City's custodian First Interstate Trust. All
purchases or sells would be on a competitive basis.
The following discussion sets forth the steps staff took in order to make its
recommendation:
The attached Broker/Dealer Questionnaire Attachment No.3) was sent out to the
firms listed below based upon the following criteria 1) firms that submitted requests
to the City, 2) Investment Advisory Board recommendations and 3) staff
recommendations.

National Association of Security Dealers NASD) and State of California Corporations
Department to disclose disciplinary actions that may have been taken, and reviewed
financial statement information. Staff has also personally met with each of the
broker/dealers being recommended.
The results can be summarized as follows:
Met requirements
Did not meet requirements
Declined to respond
The results are as follows:
Bank of California Did not meet requirements
Dean Witter Met requirements
International Securities Group Did not meet requirements
Merrill Lynch Met requirements
Paine Webber Declined to respond
Prudential Securities Declined to respond
Smith Barney Declined to respond
Wells Fargo Bank Declined to respond
The goal of staff was to have three broker/dealers to obtain quotes from when trading
investments, however only two have met the requirements set forth in the
broker/dealer questionnaire. Staff will continue to seek a third broker/dealer in the
future. However, we do not want to delay the diversification of the investment
portfolio and are not in a position to recommend a third broker/dealer at this time.

needed to select another broker/dealer would not result in significant savings based
upon the types of investments that will be purchased e.g., Treasury Bills).
The Corporate Resolutions and Investor Agreement have been reviewed by the City
Attorney and are attached Attachments No. 1 & 2). In addition to staff's
recommendation, the Investment Advisory Board took action at their March 1 3, 1 996
meeting to recommend these broker/dealers.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives available are:
1. Approve the selection of broker/dealers as recommended by the Investment
Advisory Board;
2. Deny the approval of the broker/dealer.

ITEM TIThE: Consideration of a Resolution of the City STUDY SESSION:
Council of the City of La Quinta, California
Adopting Rules of Procedure for Council PUBLIC HEARING:
Meetings and Related Functions and Activities
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Resolution of the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California
Adopting Rules of Procedure for Council Meetings and Related Functions and
Activities.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
Since October, 1995, the City has been studying issues concerning Council decorum,
the conduct of Council meetings, and vote tabulations. At the February 6, 1 996 City
Council meeting, a Study Session was conducted on these matters and their relation
to the City Council's Rules of Procedure. City staff, including the City Manager,
Assistant City Manager, City Clerk and City Attorney, met subsequent to the Study
Session and constructed amendments to the City Council's Rules of Procedure in an
attempt to address the Council's concerns. Proposed amendments are limited to
those highlighted within the attachment.
Regarding Council decorum and in accordance with comments made by the City
Council during the Study Session, staff recommends the following change:
1. Modify Section 4.2 DECORUM AND ORDER-COUNCIL MEMBERS: Add a
subsection f) which addresses Council conduct at commission or committee
meetings.

CC-U02

ing -> 132dORegarding the agenda contents, staff recommends the following changes:
1. Delete Section 1.4 STUDY SESSION: This is a section which is also covered
under Section 2 of the Rules of Procedure. Historically, Study Sessions were
held on different days than the regular Council meetings. Since Study Sessions
are now a part of the regular agenda and conducted on the same day and time
as a regular Council meeting, there is no longer a need for a separate section
on Study Sessions.
2. Modify Section 2 ORDER OF BUSINESS: Move Public Comment up on the
agenda so that it is immediately following the roll call. This will effectively
allow the public to comment on anything on the agenda and is in keeping with
the law, or at least spirit, of the Brown Act.
Asterisks have been added to several sections with a note that these items
shall be used for discussion and direction to staff to bring back an item for final
consideration at a future Council meeting.
3. Modify Section 7.2 FAILURE TO VOTE: Language has been added
regarding abstentions and how votes will be counted to clarify any ambiguity.
4. Modify Section 7.3 RECONSIDERATION: Language has been added to
clarify how reconsideration by the Council is handled.
5. Modify Section 7.4 TIE VOTES: Language has been added to clarify any
ambiguity on tie votes.
Staff proposes the above changes to address the Council's concerns regarding
Council decorum, rules and procedures. A redlined copy of the Rules of Procedure
is incorporated into the attached resolution to highlight the proposed changes.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
Options available to the City Council include:
1. Approve the Resolution of the City Council of the City of La Quinta, California
Adopting Rules of Procedure for Council Meetings and Related Functions and
Activities; or,
2. Approve with changes the Resolution of the City Council of the City of La
Quinta, California Adopting Rules of Procedure for Council Meetings and

COUNCILfRDA ME?NG DATE: April 16, 1996 CONSENT CALENDAR:
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Response to Public Comment STUDY SESSION:
on Social Contract between Continental Cable-
vision and the Federal Communications PUBLIC REARING:
Commission FCC)
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Response Letter Prepared by Special Counsel for Delivery to the FCC.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
On March 11, 1 998, the City received a letter from Continental Cablevision informing
the City of a Social Contract Amendment" between Continental Cablevision and the
FCC see Attachment No. 1-the complete Proposed Amendment to Social Contract
is available in the City Clerk's Office for review). Basically, the letter indicates that
Continental and the FCC entered into an agreement referred to as a Social Contract"
in 1 995. One of the purposes of the Social Contract was to settle regulatory issues-
primarily system upgrades and rates for cable television service. It appears to be a
negotiated settlement between the FCC and Continental. There is now a proposed
amendment to the 1 995 Social Contract which is the reason why Continental has
sent the attached correspondence, Public Notice, etc. The purpose of the pending
amendment is to primarily address upgrade and rate issues not only for the existing
systems of Continental but for all the systems which Continental acquired after
entering into the 1 995 Social Contract. Based on the amendment, rates may go up
$1/monthly in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. In effect, the proposed amendment
permits this rate increase to fund system improvements already negotiated and agreed
to by Continental as part of its franchise agreement with the City of La Quinta.
Staff sought out the expertise of Rutan & Tucker to review the correspondence from
Continental and the FCC. Special legal counsel, William Marticorena states that he
believes the proposed amendment to the 1 995 Social Contract to be a very bad idea
for the Cities and their subscribers" and suggests that the City respond to the FCC

of concerns of affected franchising authorities. Rutan & Tucker's response to our
request, along with their proposed response letter to the FCC's Public Notice are
attached to this staff report Attachment No.2).
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The FCC's Public Notice on the amendment requests comments from local franchising
authorities i.e. the City of La Quinta) within 45 days of March 6, 1 996. Comments,
therefore, are due on or about April 1 9, 1 996.
Options available to the City Council include:
1. Approve the response letter prepared by Rutan & Tucker; or,
2. Approve with changes the response letter prepared by Rutan & Tucker; or,
3. Not approve the response letter prepared by Rutan & Tucker; or,

Approval to Execute Program Supplement Numbers 008 PUBLIC HEARING:
and Ol 3 to State-Local Transportation Partnership Program
Agreement No. SLTPP-5433 between the State and the
City of La Quinta for construction of various street improvements
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve execution of each Program Supplement, Numbers 008 and Ol 3 to State-
Local Transportation Partnership Program Agreement No. SLTPP-5433 between the
State and the City of La Quinta for construction of various street improvements.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
These projects are accepted and approved for Cycle 6 SLTPP funds. The City is
expected to receive estimated State Share Funds as follows:
* 008 Adams Street Route 111 to Avenue 47 $ 8,671
* 013 Adams Street/Whitewater Channel Crossing $1 8.060
Total $26,731
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
It was estimated that the City would receive a 1 0% reimbursement ratio from State-
Local Transportation Partnership Program SLTPP) funds, formally SB 300". The
State Share Reimbursement Ratio approved for FY 1995/96 is 5.88%. This ratio is
applied to the award amount or the estimated project cost, whichever is less.
Adams Street Construction Improvements from State Route 111 to Avenue 47 was
awarded to Granite Construction for $147,471.00. Construction was completed in
September of 1 995. The State Share for this project is $8?671 00.
The Adams Street and Whitewater Channel Crossing is the primary access to La
Quinta High School for all residents south of Highway 111. Previously, this crossing
was improved and nearly completed in January 1 993 when flood waters in the
Whitewater River destroyed the work that had been completed. A Cooperative
Agreement was entered into by the City of La Quinta and the Desert Sands Unified
School District to complete the reconstruction of the crossing. This project was also
awarded to Granite Construction for $349,455.00. Construction was completed in
August of 1995. The City's share was $1 18,000.00. To offset this expenditure, the

ing -> 132OState Share is $18,060.00.
Funds for the Cycle 6 SLTPP projects are required to be encumbered by fully
executed Program Supplements by June 30, 1996. Failure to fully execute the
Program Supplement Agreements by this deadline will prohibit agencies from
receiving SLTPP funds for their project, even though the construction contracts have
been awarded by the June 30, 1 996 deadline according to SLTPP legislation.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
To proceed with the execution of Program Supplements, the City Council must
approve the Program Supplements and authorize the City Manager to execute said
agreement.
Execution of the Program Supplements will initiate the process for reimbursement of
funds already encumbered by the City.
Alternatives available to the City Council are as follows:
1. Approve staff?s recommendation to approve execution of Program Supplements
2. Provide staff with alternative directions.

ITEM TIThE: STUDY S?SSION:
Acceptance of Grant Deed from Shovun/Fletcher et al. PUBLIC REARING:
for Highway 111 Permanent Right-of-Way
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Purchase and Accept Grant Deed for permanent right-of-way involving
certain lands of Michael Shovlm and Lord Fletcher Inn, Inc.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Upon acceptance, a payment in the amount of $3,405 will be paid to Lord Fletcher
Inn, Inc. The undivided one-half interest of Michael Shovlm, et ux., is donated.
Sufficient funding is in place for this land acquisition, and will be funded from the
Washington Street Improvements/Bridge to Simon account no.401-609-695-000.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
In April, 1 990, the One Eleven La Quinta Shopping Center was conditioned to widen
the north side of Highway 111 from Adams Street to Washington Street including
transition west of Washington Street as may be required by Caltrans. In March,
1 991, Caltrans completed their Project Study Report for the proposed highway
widening and confirmed the need for a significant transition lane reduction area) on
Highway 111 between Washington Street and Point Happy.
In March, 1991, the La Quinta Redevelopment Agency entered into a Owner
Participation Agreement OPA) with the Washington/Adams Limited Partnership that
committed the Agency to pay for a portion of the offsite public infrastructure
improvements, including the transition improvements, up to $3,156,000, with
anything in excess of that amount to be borne by the Washington/Adams Partnership.
Acquisition costs for the subject right-of-way as stated in the OPA, however, are
specifically excluded from the scope of work.
In order for improvements to Highway 111 to move forward, the City will need to
acquire certain lands on the north side of Highway 111 west of Washington Street
as permanent right-of-way Exhibit A).

ing -> 132OFINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The land that is proposed for fee simple acquisition for permanent street right-of-way
purposes, is land that would ultimately be dedicated at no cost to the City if the land
owner were to seek entitlements for development of the land. However, to start
construction of the proposed improvements by July, 1 996, the City must acquire the
permanent right-of-way through a negotiated settlement.
Alternatives for the City Council to consider:
1. Approve staff's recommendation by accepting the Grant Deed for permanent
right-of-way from Michael Shovlm and Lord Fletcher Inn, Inc. and executing the
certificate of acceptance.
2. Deny staff's recommendation. The proposed right-of-way acquisition is
necessary to complete the improvements. Without the right-of-way, Caltrans
will not issue an encroachment permit and construction will not be allowed to
proceed.
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City is currently paying Lundeen Pacific Corporation $233,545.64 annually for
Landscape Maintenance Contract LMC 95196. Based upon the February, 1995 to
February, 1996 Greater Los Angeles Consumer Price Index increase of 1.1 percent
for Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Riverside areas, this extension will result in an
increase of $2,569.00, or an annual amount of $236,114.64.
There is $283,000 proposed in Account No.101-454-609-000, Contract Services,

approval of the Fiscal Year 1 996/97 Budget, there will be adequate funds available
to support this recommendation.

ing -> 132OApproximately one year ago, staff revised the City?s landscape maintenance
specifications. These revised specifications placed higher performance standards
directly on the Contractor. Based upon the performance of Lundeen Pacific
Corporation and the positive public input received by staff over the past ten 10)
months, staff is recommending a one-year extension to the existing Contract with
Lundeen Pacific Corporation.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES
Available Alternatives
1. Approve one-year extension to the Citywide Landscape Maintenance Contract LMC
95/96 Lundeen Pacific Corporation has proven the ability to meet all contractual
requirements for LMC 95/96. Extending the Contract for an additional year should
result in the same level of service accompanied by the positive public input resulting
from their performance.
2. Deny approval of one-year extension to Citywide Landscape Maintenance Contract
LMC 95/96 and direct staff to begin advertising for bids for Fiscal Year 1996/97?s
contract This alternative will result in the need to solicit bids for this project. This
may result in an increased cost for these services.
3. Provide staff with alternative direction.

BUSINESS SESSION:
COUNCILIRDA MEETING DATE: April 16,1996 CONSENT CALENDAR:
ITEM TITLE:
STUDY SESSION:
Discussion of Draft City Charter
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss the Draft City Charter document, direct staff to incorporate any recommended
changes by the Council and direct staff to disseminate informational materials in May
consistent with the City Charter document and schedule public meetings for June 8, 1996
Saturday) and June 20,1996 Thursday evening) to solicit public comment and discuss
charter merits.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Estimated actual cost: None for this action; ultimate election cost estimated at $13,000.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The City Council, at its regular meeting of March 19,1996, reviewed the history and
advantagesldisadvantages of a charter form of government. Subsequent to this
discussion, staff was asked to prepare a draft charter document for the City of La Quinta.
To that end, the City Attorney has drafted Attachment 1 entitled: Charter of the City of La
puinta.
Consistent with Council direction, the drafted charter was modeled after the San Marcos
City Charter adopted by that City in 1994. The Council will note that the document, as
drafted, focuses on revenue retention, savings and economic development. It grants the
City power to establish standards, procedures, rules or regulations related to public works
contracts and public financing. Additionally, the draft charter also outlines the City's
authority to franchise for, or acquire, the development or operation of utilities; engage in
enterprises to generate revenue; and utilize General Funds to promote economic
development.
The proposed charter does not raise taxes. It does strive to protect existing revenue
streams from being raided by other levels of government. It also seeks to exempt the City
from State or other mandated activities unless those activities are funded by the mandating
authority.

ing -> 132OBeyond the areas specifically outlined above, the charter specifies that the City will retain
and continue to derive its power and authority from the Constitution and adopted laws of
the State of California.
Staff has submitted an introductory article on the chartering process to the La Quinta
Chamber of Commerce for inclusion in its May newsletter see Attachment 2). In addition,
staff has begun preparation of additional informational pieces which will be finalized
consistent with Council action on the draft charter and distributed via the Chamber
newsletter and other public mediums see Attachments 3 and 4).
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
It has been accurately stated that the charter form of government is not a panacea in and
of itself. It does, however, represent an attempt to enhance local authority, retain local
control and assist the City in providing more efficient City services. To that end, staff
forwards the draft charter document for review and consideration by the City Council.
Alternatives available to the City Council include:
1. Discuss the Draft City Charter document, direct staff to incorporate any
recommended changes by the City Council, and direct staff to disseminate
informational materials in May consistent with that document, and schedule public
meetings for June 8, 1996 Saturday) and June 20,1996 Thursday evening) to
solicit citizen comment and discuss charter merits; or
2. Suggest revisions to the Draft City Charter, direct staff to prepare appropriately
revised informational materials consistent with the revised Charter, and place the
revised draft on the May 7,1996 Council agenda for reconsideration; or
3. Defer action on this matter until a later date.

FROM: Cultural Commission
DATE: April 16, 1996
SUBJECT: Report of Cultural Commission Subcommittee Regarding the
La Quinta Pageant
In July 1 995, the City Council allocated $5,000 at the request of the Cultural
Commission through the Pageant Steering Committee) to further investigate the
possibilities of staging an annual outdoor drama the first event is planned sometime
between 1997 and 2000) based on the history of La Quinta. The approved $5,000
has been deposited with the V!VA FOUNDATION, a local, 501 C3, non-profit
organization. V!VA FOUNDATION is temporarily acting as the non-profit agency for
the purpose of developing the pageant idea and distributing the funds for consulting.
V!VA Foundation is also considering participating in the project as a financial backer.
The La Quinta Pageant Steering Committee is a subcommittee of the La Quinta
Cultural Commission Attachment 1) and has met on an as-needed basis since the last
report to the City Council on July 18, 1995 Attachment 2).
The Steering Committee has retained Dr. Jim Volz, Consultant for the Arts, and
Professor of the Department of Theater and Dance, California State University,
Fullerton, Profile in Attachment 3) for the purpose of conducting the feasibility study.
The Committee has met with Dr. Volz on two occasions. On January 19, 1996, Dr.
Volz and Pageant Committee Members developed a proposed Mission Statement
Attachment 4). Dr. Volz has agreed to work with the Committee to further explore
time line, script, fundraising and the general concept of producing an outdoor
pageant. A proposal Attachment 5) was submitted for the Cultural Commission's
review on March 8, 1996.
Using local/regional and professional/amateur performers, Viva La Quinta" would
highlight La Quinta's history from its Cahuilla Indian origins through the glamour days
of the 1 92O-30?s to present days. The production would feature at least one original
musical score, possibly selected by competition, in addition to other well known
music of the period to provide nostalgia for the scenes. Community involvement in
the planning stages and anecdotes from the public, as well as other competitions will
be an important part of the development process. The production may be staged on
and around the sunken Clubhouse Tennis Court at La Quinta Resort & Club. Easter
weekend, annually, is the suggested time.

ing -> 132OAs part of the feasibility study process, Dr. VoIz will recommend production personnel
to the Committee and will assist with the selection of staff and volunteers when
appropriate. To date, Dr. Volz has brought a wealth of ideas and suggestions for
making the pageant unique and entertaining.
It is assumed that the pageant project will eventually need to establish a working
committee and non-profit organizational status or become part of an existing
organization making it independent from the City of La Quinta and the Cultural
Commission.
The recommendation from the feasibility study is proposing the La Quinta Pageant
be produced by an existing non-profit organization, such as V!VA, or by one formed
for the sole purpose of producing the pageant. The Cultural Commission recommends
a separate non-profit 501 C)3 be established to produce the pageant. The cost of
producing the pageant will vary widely depending on the quality of the production.
For instance, a quality performance opening production in 1998 could cost from
$175,000-$200,000. It is proposed the majority of the funds would be raised
through community support, in-kind donations, grants, sponsorships, private funds,
etc.. Projected budget information is contained within Attachment 6.
Involving both community talent and professional artists, VIVA LA QUINTA!, will
excite community spirit, promote tourism, and increase retail revenues through a
broadly appealing extravaganza, managed with fiscal integrity for long-range growth
and national recognition for La Quinta.
The Cultural Commission and the sub-committee is requesting feedback from the City
Council regarding the information presented. The Commission would like the City
Council to consider the VIVA LA QUINTA concept and financial support of the
pageant at a future City Council meeting.

RE: Preliminary Traffic Study Highway 111 Entrances to Von's Shopping Center
This report is provided in response to the Council's request for information regarding the character
and quality of ingress and egress to Plaza La Quinta Von's shopping center) from Highway ill.
The report is preliminary and can be expanded in scope if so directed by the Council.
There are two access driveways that connect Plaza La Quinta to Highway 111 as noted on
Attachment #1. The westerly driveway is a full-turn/full-movement driveway; it is 1,000 feet
from the Washington Street intersection. The easterly driveway is restricted to right turns in and
out only and is approximately 500 feet from the Washington Street intersection. Currently there
is no positive barrier on the highway to prevent motorists from violating the turning restrictions
placed on the easterly driveway. However, the pending Highway 11] Widening project proposes
to construct a raised landscaped median at the easterly driveway which will prevent future left turn
violations at this location.
INVESTIGATION
Staff has investigated two aspects of access regarding the subject driveways: 1) 24-hour traffic
counts were taken on Tuesday, March 26, 1996, and 2) a summary of the 5-year accident history
was prepared.
Traffic Volume 24-Hour Coun?
Westerly Driveway Eastbound traffic: 16,109 vehicles
Westbound traffic: 15,804 vehicles
Northbound traffic: 1,608 vehicles
Easterly Driveway Eastbound traffic: 16,109 vehicles
Westbound traffic: 15,804 vehicles
Northbound traffic: 720 vehicles

Staff performed a traffic signal warrant study based on this traffic count. The westerly driveway
meets four of the eleven warrants ie #2, #8, #9, and #11). The easterly driveway does not meet
any traffic signal warrants.
Five Year Accident History January 90 to September 95)
Westerly Driveway Seventeen 17) accidents occurred at this driveway in the subject time
frame of which twelve 12) are susceptible to correction by a traffic signal. The warrant
criteria for accidents is five or more accidents susceptible to correction in a year; only one
year 1990) had five or more accidents. It should be noted, eleven 11) of the seventeen
accidents were broadside type accidents, and one resulted in a fatality in 1991. See
Attachment #2.
Easterly Driveway Thirteen 13) accidents occurred at this driveway in the subject time
frame of which five 5) are susceptible to correction by a traffic signal. Most of the
accidents occurring at this driveway were rear end type accidents. These accidents may
be the result of traffic slowing down to make the right turn into the shopping center, or
they may be the result of inadequate distance to stop due to backed-up traffic stopped for
the Washington Street signal; but in either case, if a new signal were installed at the
westerly driveway it would most likely reduce the number of accidents occurring at this
driveway as well.
In addition to reviewing the accident history at the two driveways into Plaza La Quinta, staff also
reviewed the accident history at two other locations: 1) the Cliffhouse Restaurant driveway, and
2) the eastbound Highway 111 traffic approaching the Washington Street signal.
Cliffhouse Restaurant Nine 9) accidents occurred at this driveway in the subject time
frame; one resulted in a fatality in 1993. See Attachment #3. Most of the accidents are
the broadside type accident. These accidents could be reduccd if not completely eliminated
if a positive barrier such as a raised median were installed to eliminate the left turn
moyements at this driveway.

ing -> 132(O Westerly Approach to Washington Street Eastbound traffic) Eleven 11) accidents
occurred in this signal approach area in the subject time frame. Most of the accidents are
the rear end type Which result from inadequate stopping distance due to backed up traffic
stopped at the signal. If a signal were installed at the westerly entrance to Plaza La
Quinta, some of the accidents in this area would be eliminated. However, it should be
noted, all signals create opportunity for rear end accidents. If a new signal is installed at
the westerly driveway it too will have some rear end accidents.
CONCLUSION
There is strong evidence that a signal should be installed on Highway 111 to serve Plaza La
Quinta For years, Caltrans consistently took the position that no signal would be allowed at this
location because it is too close to the Washington Street signal. However, in late 1993, Caltrans
indicated a willingness to review evidence in support of a signal if in fact there is a warranted
need.
It is anticipated that access to property on the north side of Highway will have a similar need for
full turn access from the highway when that property develops in the future. One alternative that
should at least be considered is the possibility of relocating the westerly driveway to Plaza La
Quinta to a position that is approximately 100-300 feet east of its current location. By doing so,
the signalized access would serve properties on both sides of the highway. Relocating the
driveway would entail some expense by the owner of Plaza La Quinta as it would impact the
onsite parking layout in the vicinity of the relocated driveway. However, the degree of impact
can be significantly minimized if the driveway is aligned with an existing aisle in the parking lot.
It is recommended that this project be considered for potential inclusion in the FY 1997-98 or FY
1998-99 Capital Improvement Budget. The FY 1997-98 budget will be prepared a year from
now. In the next twelve months, staff can prepare a formal traffic study and submit it to Caltrans
for its concurrence. Also, staff can develop some preliminary concepts for discussion purposes
with Caltrans and the property owners on both sides of Highway 111 at the proposed location.
Additionally, it appears the City should consider installation of a raised median between the
proposed signal location and the bridge over Deep Canyon just west of the Cliffliouse Restaurant.

comprehensive. The ordinance has since evolved to address only landscape and golf
course maintenance activities.
On February 20, 1 996, the most recent draft of the ordinance was brought to the City
Council as a public hearing item. The report incorporated all comments received which
were consistent with the intent of the ordinance February 20, 1 996 staff report is on

ing -> 1321O Issues/Analysis
Community Development staff met with Messrs. Chevis Hosea, Scott Delacio and
Virgil Robinson on February 27, 1 996, to discuss the above issues. Their concerns
primarily involved starting course preparation at 7:00 a.m., as they indicated it takes
3 Y2 to 4 hours to prepare a course for daily play, starting as early as 5:00 a.m.
Attachment 2). KSL does not have significant concerns with leaf blower regulations;
they indicated that such equipment is not a dominant aspect of their maintenance
program. Their thatching/reseeding window is between September 1 5 and November
30, which is consistent with the September 1 5 to December 1 period incorporated in
earlier versions of this ordinance.
In regard to Mr. Schuman's concern regarding start times for maintenance work
Attachment 3), staff conducted a brief survey of cities with golf courses and found
the following restrictions:
* City of Cathedral City There are no restrictions on golf course maintenance.
Enforcement is based on noise ordinance standards for the particular zoning
district.
* City of Indian Wells Golf course maintenance is currently exempt from time
restrictions. Leaf blowers are only allowed for individual users and golf course
reseeding by special permit, from September 1 5 through December 1.
* City of lndio The City regulates construction equipment hours but does not
consider golf course maintenance as construction, and it is therefore not
regulated.
* City of Palm Desert Golf course maintenance hours are from 5:30 a.m. to 7:00
p.m., seven days a week including government holidays. Noise sources
associated with property maintenance not defined) are exempt, except that
operation of gas powered hand blQwers, mowers, edgers and similar equipment
are regulated on a seasonal basis and are not allowed earlier than 6:00 a.m.
* City of Palm Springs The City regulates construction equipment hours but does
not consider golf course maintenance as construction, and it is therefore not
regulated.
* City of Rancho Mirage The City's Noise Ordinance does not address golf
course or landscape maintenance. Leaf blowers are not regulated as long as the
blower is in continuous use, i.e., non-stationary.
The proposed ordinance shows the latest changes in legislative format. The following
summarizes the significant modifications:
A. A definition for Landscape Maintenance Equipment has been added, primarily
to identify other types of equipment subject to regulation, such as edge
trimmers, mowers, etc.

ing -> 1322OB. Staff has further differentiated golf course operations from other landscape
operations by revising Sections 6.17.030 and 6.17.060. This limits applicability
of the regulations to the defined maintenance activity for that Section. In these
two Sections, staff has addressed the following;
1. Thatching and reseeding operations for both golf and homeowner
landscaping are regulated, as their localized impact is consistent. Leaf
blowers are not permitted during any thatching activities, recognizing
impacts due to fugitive dust i.e., PM1O) and scattering of thatched
material.
2. Although the ordinance now recognizes golf course operations as
exempt, standards are included to direct early morning activities away
from residential units in a reasonable manner, and maintaining 75' from
residential units prior to 7:00 a.m. For routine golf course and any
homeowner property maintenance, leaf blowers and leaf vacuums are
prohibited prior to 8:00 a.m.
C. Section 6.17.050.A.2 exempting televised golf tournaments and others,
requiring an Outdoor Event Permit has been retained, and cites the applicable
Section of the revised Zoning Code.
D. The Exemptions" section now includes an operational exemption" process to
replace the Minor Use Permit. The process has been made part of this section,
and still allows deviations from the ordinance relating to hours of operation,
type of equipment used, and other restrictions which may be approved by the
Director as an operational exemption permit. This is intended for temporary
periods where the applicant cannot comply with the ordinance, or where
conditions exist to allow some relief from the particular regulation in question.
Specific criteria must be satisfied to receive an operational exemption.
E. Restrictions on leaf blowers also address fugitive dust PM1O) mitigation. The
South Coast Air Quality Management District SCAQMD) adopted a revision to
the 1991 Coachella Valley PM1O State Implementation Plan 91-CVSIP),
referred to as the 1 994 BACM Best Available Control Measures) SIP revision.
One control measure which may be incorporated into a proposed SCAQMD Rule
403 amendment in 1 997 relates to turf maintenance activities thatching).
An emissions inventory being conducted by SCAQMD will determine whether
this source is significant enough that any emission reductions attributed to its
regulation will warrant amending the rule. The City also has a Fugitive Dust
Control Ordinance Chapter 6.16), which addresses impacts from construction
and related activities and will precede this ordinance in the Municipal Code.

ITEM TIThE: STUDY SESSION:
Public Hearing on an Agreement and escrow instructions for PUBLIC HEARING:
the sale of real property owned by the Redevelopment
Agency by and between the City and Mr. & Mrs. Jose
Sanchez for the property located at 53880 Avenida Villa
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Agreement and escrow instructions regarding the disposition of the property.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
If the sale is consummated, the Agency will receive a total of $73,523 in sale proceeds; these monies
would be deposited into the Agency's Affordable Housing Bond Fund.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Agency currently owns a 1479 square foot, three-bedroom, two-bath single-family dwelling
located at 53880 Avenida Villa Property"). The Property was part of a larger 15-unit affordable
housing project constructed by Stoekinan Development Company in 1992. These units were sold to
very low, low, and moderate income families, and featured both Agency silent second trust deeds to
insure that the housing costs would be affordable to the targeted households) and 3 0-year covenants
to insure the continued affordability of each unit. In the summer of 1995, the initial home buyer
desired to relocate from La Quinta, but could not find a qualified buyer to purchase the property. He
approached the Agency with a request that the Agency exercise a purchase option that was part of
the Agency's affordability covenants which provided that the Agency could purchase this property
to preserve its affordable housing covenant. The transaction closed in August, 1995 with the Agency
purchasing the unit for a cost of$l 10,000; of this amount, $34,632 was the existing Agency second
trust deed mortgage, with an additional $75,368 paid by the Agency to retire the first trust deed
mortgage.
Subsequent to the purchase, staff has been working with local realtors to market the Property. On
February 15, 1996, staffreceived a purchase offer of $1 1,500 from Jose De Jesus and Anna Felicitas
Sanchez Buyers"); they subsequently qualified for first trust deed financing subject to a lender's
appraisal. The appraisal, which was completed and presented on March 30, 995, indicated a current
market value of no more than $102,000.
Accompanying this report is the Summary Report on the proposed transaction, and the Escrow
Instructions that facilitate the sale of the Property. The Instructions provide that the Property would
be sold to the Buyers for a sales price of $102,000; $73,675 would be funded through their first trust

ing -> 132BOdeed mortgage, and $28,325 would be financed through an Agency second trust deed. Further, the
instructions provide that the Agency will fund up to $2,000 in closing costs, in order to insure that
the resulting housing costs will be affordable to a low income household. Finally, the Agency's
second trust deed includes covenants to insure that the Property will remain affordable to a low
income family for a minimum of 30 years.
FINDINGS AND ALTERNATIVES:
The California Community Redevelopment Law requires that ajoint public hearing be held involving
a legislative body and a redevelopment agency whenever property, purchased with agency tax
Increment revenue, is sold. In order to continue with the sale of this residence, ajoint public hearing
involving both the City Council and Agency Board is required. If, after consideration of all
testimony and evidence both bodies elect to proceed with this transaction, then escrow would be
opened and the sale would be consummated. This would result in the disposal of a vacant single-
family dwelling currently owned by the Agency, and the provision of an affordability covenant
restricted unit that would assist in achieving the Agency's legally mandated affordable housing
production requirements. Further, the sale will allow the Agency to recoup up to $73,675 of Project
No. l Housing Bond Fund monies that were utilized to purchase the unit from the initial home buyer
and preserve the Agency's affordability covenant.
The options available to theCity Council regarding this transaction are as follows:
1. Approve the Escrow Instructions, thus facilitating the transaction and selling the Property.
2. Not approve the Escrow Instructions which would cancel the sale and result in continued Agency
ownership of a vacant single-family residence.
